Gallas on the move again?

William Gallas loves London. The French defender could be on the verge of moving to a fourth London club. Harry Redknapp is hoping that the French international will come and join him at Loftus Road during the current transfer window.

After playing for Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham he is clearly after the full set of London Premier League clubs and if the move to Queens Park Rangers goes ahead he will only need West Ham and Fulham for the lot.  

The French defender has had a slightly checkered career but not without its successes. He has won the Premier League twice and the League Cup, and has played for France on more than eighty occasions.

He has also already played under Harry Redknapp. The current QPR manager brought Gallas to Tottenham from Arsenal which is not quite a move of Sol Campbell proportions (it was the other way around for a start) but it still had its moments, especially when one of the first things Gallas said on record was that Spurs could win the league. Maybe a job as a peace negotiator could be on the cards for when he retires.

If Gallas can play without arguing with anyone or getting injured he is a very good defender. Just the thing QPR are crying out for if Harry consents to Ryan Nelsen’s move to Toronto.
